Computer Problems???????

Question

Ok, I've had this computer since almost 2002. And now all of a sudden, the tower is making different "loading" noises. It isn't realizing that there is a disk in the drive. I tried to play sims and it said "Please enter Disk"...And when i tried to burn a CD it said "Please enter a blank disk" And i just put in a newly opened cd from a blank disk pack. What's going on with the computer and what can I do to fix it?

Answer 1

Sounds like the cd drive is bad.

New ones aren't too expensive.

A cd/dvd burner is about $60.00.

Or you could just get  a USB model,

if you don't feel like messing around

on  the inside of your pc.
